Here's a short list of Ted's improper actions in Congress:
1. Tankergate- tried to get the Congress to lease Boeing refuelers for more then they would cost to buy-violation of US Law Honest Services Fraud (working for a Corporation best interest, not the USA).
2. No-bid contracts for Native Corps in AK- violation of the equality clause of the Constitution.
3. AFA- Bering Sea whitefish rationalization where a a majority of the processing and fishing rights went to foreign owned corporations- Commited High Treason, Honest Services Fraud & Racketeering.
4. CDQs for Western Alaskan communities for Bering Sea Pollock and crab-violation of the equality clause of the Constitution (preferential treatment).
5. Bering Sea/Aleutian Island crab rationalization gave away majority of processing rights for crab to Japanese Corps and his personal friend Chuck Bundrant at Trident Seafoods- violation of US Senate rules, due process of the Constitution, and MSA/ Sustainable Fisheries Act Law that he helped legislate in 1996, Treason and Racketeering.
6. Rockfish Pilot Program gave away Gulf of Alaska rockfish rights to 52 persons/entities- violation of US Senate rules, due process of the Constitution, and MSA/SFA Law of 1996 & Racketeering.
7. Adak Pollock Allocation gave pollock rights to the Aleut Corp and behind the scenes his son Ben sat on the Aleut Enterprise Corp (subsidary) board that handed the rights to Adak Seafoods of which he owned 25% of the company - Violation of Senate rules, Due Process of the Constitution, MSA/SFA Law, & Racketeering.
8. Tried to force more oil tankers (asked for by BP-proven by emails) into Puget Sound even thought former US Senator Warren Magnuson wrote law to limit the amount of oil transiting the waterway- violation of US Congressional law of Honest Services Fraud.
9. Has worked to open ANWR and the Alaskan Coastal waters for Big Oil, and protected oil executives from being sworn into Congress- Honest Services Fraud and Racketeering?
10. Neglected the State of Alaska from receiving fair royalty rates for Oil that was drilled and removed from Alaska. His son, Ben, as the Alaska State Senate President controlled votes in the legislature on the PPT oil royalty taxes and will most likely be proven to have racketeered with his father and VECO.
11. The SeaLife Center $1.6 Million dollar earmark to acquire adjacent property owned by Trevor McCabe, former aid and business partner of son Ben.
12. The NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) Land deal with Stevens business partners Rubini and Hyde. Purchased land from 40th Street investors (retired teachers) for $1.5 Million. Rezoned previous "un-rezonable" property from residential to commercial. Stevens, Rubini and Hyde sold to National Archives and Records Administration for $3.5 Million courtesy of a Stevens earmark. They netted $2 Million-more than double their investment in 1 year.
13. Arctic Slope Regional Corporation is a billion dollar corporate tenant in Centerpoint-A $35 million Rubini-Hyde-Stevens Building. They signed a 20 year lease for $6 million a year. $120 million dollars...Why didn't they just build their own building for $35 million, save $85 million and depreciate it??? Stevens provided Arctic Slope with a $2 Billion no bid pentagon contract and mineral rights to ANWR.
14. Voted to abolish The Great Writ of Habeas Corpus-the 13th century right to challenge your detention. The RIGHT to NOT be imprisoned indefinitely. The FOUNDATION of the US CONSTITUTION. (The far right leaning US Supreme Court reinstated habeas corpus on June 12, 2008).
15. Voted for FISA and provided retroactive immunity for law breaking telecoms that spied on Americans BEFORE 9/11, further concentrating power in the already power hungry and power hungry executive branch. Effectively shifted America from a nation based upon the RULE OF LAW to a nation based upon THE RULE OF MEN.
